I’ve been inspired to eat more quinoa. A lot of this stems from my usual efforts to be healthy, but also after I stopped Paleo, I realized that I was able to fill myself up without the addition of grains and heavy carbs into my diet. I also realized that there are things that I wanted to consume regularly (like beans) that Paleo did not allow me to enjoy. Therefore, I knew that the full Paleo life was not quite for me but I knew that I could be to a certain degree “gluten-free” in my eating choices.

In that regard, I decided that I would start to add more quinoa into my diet as it is not only a grain that is high in fiber but it is also high in protein! Yippie! I am always looking for ways to add more protein in my diet, so I was thrilled to find a healthy grain is able to do that for me. My adventure to cook more quinoa was also aided in Cooking Light’s 15 Recipes for Cooking with Quinoa, so watch out because quite a bit of fun with Quinoa will be coming your way.

In one of my most recent quinoa adventures, I took a slight adaptation from cooking light and made it my own but increasing the robust flavor of the quinoa itself with garlic. It came out really well and I definitely recommend this dish to you and your loved ones.
